Worse company to have service your home. They do not return your call as they say. They use sorry repair companies. They have no managers that you can talk to. I'm still waiting after months to get appliances fixed. After almost a year I finally got a replacement for my washer. I really use to like this company and over the years they have gone down hill. The representatives don't speak English well- at least some of the ones that I've encountered. I'm not trying to discriminate against any race but it's hard to understand the dialect. I'm constantly have to calm myself after the calls with this company. I wish that they get back on there A game.

My problem is not with AHS. When I realised that my hardwood floor was beginning to buckle, I called AHS an appliance repairman from Antech was sent. He ran a quick test and said the dishwasher is not leaking. Two days later, after my hardwood floors we ripped up and drywall was cut out, their leak detector showed me a video of the leak. It apparently had been leaking for a long time . I have an adjustor coming on Monday and will be calling on Tuesday, 6-28 to get the ball rolling for my new dishwasher. I will provide the name of my adjustor, as well as my claim info. They will be able to provide pictures/video, reports, etc. I am waiting until I have all of my pertainent info. I will be expecting a rapid replacement as I will need to have in place so the need cabinets can be built around itave in place

AHS does not use local contractors for the Prescott Valley area. Instead they are sending someone over 100 miles away to service my AC. I have had to wait 3 weeks for service in extremely hot weather. A local contractor would be able to get to us much sooner.

Quick initial response after appliance issue. However, problems were not correctly diagnosed or resolved for over a month. After a month a replacement was recommended but only one 'feature matched product' was offered and it was conveniently out of stock. All similar level items had an associated 'upgrade' charge and customer service was completely inflexible and unhelpful. I m still waiting for an appropriate replacement to be in stock.

The plumbing contractor was looking for a big money job. He had a lot of good suggestions. However, what he said to me and what he wrote on the estimate were 2 very different things. AHS doesn't want to cover my systems because"its not normal wear and rear? That's highly subjective. And an excuse to not cover basic services. Very frustrated. The only good one was the rekey. Otherwise, Im wasting my time and hundreds of dollars.

"My request was submitted on May 12. Today is June 15 and I still have no resolution. I have been given the run around by ProTech Appliance. They have been full of excuses. After reaching out on June 14 to AHS I finally received an email with a repair date of June 23rd which is more than a month from the initial repair request. This has been a terrible experience. ProTech is located in Conroe over an hour away. There are many reputable appliance repair companies in Houston, TX alot more accessible to my area."

Refrigerator still not fixed, called home shield 3 times to ask why GE hasn't fixed it. Was told I would get a call back which I never did. Last call last week I was told GE didn't fix my frig but came to service my microwave which isn't true since I have a brand new microwave. So now there is an investigation but I'm not holding my breathe for a call back. I will be canceling my contract after this month.

NORBERTO GILBERT Temecula, CA

I had a horrible experience. I recently put a claim in for my whole house fan. It started great within two days A company by the name Jaeger came to check out fan. The guy looked at the fan for five minutes then said he would be in touch regarding the fan. He didn't say much more than that. About three days later I get an email from AHS warranty stating they WILL NOT COVER THIS ITEM. The whole reason I bought into this warranty was for things like this. The woman I spoke with said it was denied because of how the company Jaeger explained how the fan broke. Obviously I was upset since I didn't break the fan it wore down until it stopped working, hence the WARRANTY. the woman at AHS said I could get a second opinion but I would have to pay the deductible again. Horrible, a warranty needs to fix things that are covered regardless of how things were stated.

Toma Belizaire Capitol Heights, MD

I am not happy with how I am being treated by AHS and United Air Temp. I was charged $100 each for 2 service requests, one of them was to have a hard start capacitor put in, which cost me $175 that I had to pay out of pocket. The other $100 charge was for the service request I put in to get my hot water tank checked. The Air Temp person was scheduled to come out to my home to look at the hot water tank on 6/3/22, but they never showed up nor did I get a phone call. I ended calling AHS letting them know what happened and they rescheduled my appointment for 6/14/22, but the same thing happened, no call and no show. I don't understand why it is so difficult to get someone out to my house to look at my hot water tank. This whole process is not easy and I feel like I deserve my $200 back that I was charged when I initially put in the service requests.

My expectation was that having AHS warranty would save me major out if pocket costs on home repairs which is not the case. I'm practically buying a new ac unit that has been holding on with replacement parts and freon that is outdated, yet my home warranty doesn't cover it. I'm disappointed. Also given conflicting info about what is our isn't covered with the first saying she believes it will be fully covered, only to have a "manager" call to tell me all that isn't covered. Shameful and obviously saving money for AHS at the policy holders expense. I'm looking for a better home warranty company

I will cancel my contract my also after service calls, my monthly contract goes up by at least 10%. I am paying now $90 monthly and each service call I pay $75. Customer Service folks are rude and nasty. The barely speak English and extremely hard to understand .. AHS orders parts for fixes with no ETA.
